Manchester City are all set to battle it out against Arsenal for their matchweek 33 contest of the 2025-26 Premier League. This is going to be an intense outing between these clubs, taking place at the Etihad Stadium.

The Pep Guardiola-led side have secured back-to-back wins in their last three matches. They have secured the Carabao Cup title and then eliminated Liverpool from the FA Cup. The Cityzens then secured an easy 3-0 win against Chelsea in their league fixture.Manchester City still have a chance to win the English top division league title. But only if they manage to win their upcoming contest. They will be at home, and it is going to be an added advantage for them.

Mikel Arteta’s men have come up with some underwhelming results in their last few games. In their last league fixture, they were outplayed by Bournemouth, that too while being at home. The Gunners have secured their spot in the UEFA Champions League semi-final after barely taking down Sporting CP.Arsenal currently have a six-point lead and are currently on top of the Premier League points table. They will be away from home for their next matchup, and it can become a tough outing for them. The Gunners performed poorly against Man City in their previous meeting and were defeated 0-2 in the EFL Cup final.

• Location: Manchester, England
• Stadium: Etihad Stadium
• Date: Sunday, April 19
• Kick-off Time: 03:30 PM GMT

Predicted Lineups

Manchester City

Already proudly showing off the EFL Cup and just 180 minutes away from reclaiming their FA Cup crown, the Citizens have capitalised on Arsenal's recent blips to move to within six points of the Premier League leaders, still boasting that precious game in hand too.Man City's first-half display against Chelsea was nothing to write home about, but penalty-box predator Nico O'Reilly sparked a second-half surge with his sixth goal in all competitions since the start of February; no Man City player boasts more strikes than the Englishman over that period.The hosts' comprehensive 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge marked their third straight triumph without conceding in all competitions - during which time they have plundered nine goals of their own - and the April-specific statistics make for highly pleasant reading too.

O'Reilly was prematurely taken out of the Stamford Bridge spotlight last weekend due to a hamstring scare, but Guardiola affirmed that the versatile defender is "fine" for the top-of-the-table showdown this weekend.That is more than can be said for fellow defenders Ruben Dias (hamstring), Josko Gvardiol (leg) and John Stones (calf), but the Sky Blues should come into gameweek 33 with an identical squad from their Chelsea triumph.Unless Guardiola plays it safe with O'Reilly and promotes Rayan Ait-Nouri to the lineup, an unchanged XI will almost certainly take to the field, as Rayan Cherki - averaging an assist every 138 minutes in the Premier League this season - pulls the creative strings again.

Arsenal

The Gunners' springtime hoodoo was well and truly alive against Bournemouth last Saturday lunchtime, when Eli Junior Kroupi and Alex Scott struck either side of a Viktor Gyokeres spot kick to propel the Cherries to a deserved 2-1 triumph, triggering a smattering of boos from the home crowd at the full-time whistle.Progression to the Champions League semi-finals for the second time in two seasons - a club first - restored a marginal sense of pride in midweek, but a 0-0 borefest against Sporting Lisbon in the second leg of their quarter-final did little to reignite red and white confidence.Just one win from five in all tournaments paints a grim picture for an evidently exhausted Arsenal side, who have committed an unsightly 15 errors leading to a shot in Premier League games since January 1 - between August and December, they only gave away eight.

To the surprise of fans and indeed journalists, Arteta gave a firm yes-or-no update on one of Arsenal's injured players, but it was not the yes-or-no update Gooners wanted to hear.The Spaniard confirmed that Bukayo Saka (unspecified) would not make the journey to the Etihad, although Noni Madueke is only a minor doubt with the knee issue he sustained in midweek, so a dream start for 16-year-old Max Dowman may not come to fruition.Jurrien Timber, Martin Odegaard and Riccardo Calafiori are all on the visitors' touch-and-go list too, but Mikel Merino (foot) is several weeks away from a return.
